LIV Golf’s off-course trouble keeps getting bigger.

Just as the league is trying to steady itself after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund said it will stop funding the league after the 2026 season, another lawsuit has landed on its doorstep.

This time, the league is being sued by a former broadcast partner, Canadian technology firm Mobii Systems Group Ltd., in the U.S. District Court in Miami on Friday over unpaid bills and lost money.

According to the legal filing detailed by ESPN, the financial damages stem from three distinct categories:

1. $820,600 in unpaid licensing fees
2. $104,500 in unpaid usage fees for the 2026 season
3. $209,531 in lost revenue from the six events Mobii says it was contractually owed but never got to service

Mobii Systems was the vendor behind LIV's 'Any Shot, Any Time,' feature, contracted through Dec. 31 2026. The premium feature allows the fans to follow specific players or build their own customized feed during LIV broadcasts, rather than being stuck with a single fixed camera angle.

While the league paid all of its invoices on time during the 2025 season, payments dried up starting in 2026. The timing lines up almost exactly with LIV's broader money troubles.

The PIF, which had pumped more than $5 billion into the league since it launched in 2022, announced on April 30 that it would stop funding the circuit after this season.

Weeks later, Mobii's lawyers sent LIV a formal demand for payment on May 8, giving the league until May 15 to clear its outstanding invoices. That deadline came and went.

On May 25, Nick Connor, LIV's senior vice president of technology, emailed Mobii to say the league was done using its technology — not just at the upcoming South Korea event, but for the rest of the season.

"We recognize that delays in payment have caused strain in our relationship, and we understand this is a frustrating time," Connor wrote, per ESPN.

"While we understand your frustration, our view is that litigating outstanding invoices will not be a productive use of either of our time and resources."

The company issued a notice terminating the agreement that same day.

"Because LIV Golf repudiated the Agreement and terminated Mobii's ability to perform under the Agreement, Mobii will not receive the revenue it was contractually entitled to receive from the remaining six events in LIV Golf's schedule," the lawsuit said.

The Trouble With Mobii Isn’t the Only Legal Battle LIV Is Fighting Right Now

Earlier this month, news came out about a much bigger fight brewing in London. Two English companies, the World Golf Group and the Premier Golf League, filed a lawsuit against LIV Golf, the PIF, Golf Saudi and several individuals.

 That case was actually filed back on April 16, but ESPN verified the documents and made them public in early July. The claim is enormous. They say LIV Golf is a copy of an idea they spent years building.

According to the lawsuit, a man named Andy Gardiner first dreamed up a world golf league in 2009.

Over time, the World Golf Group and Premier Golf League created detailed plans. Those plans included shotgun starts, 54-hole events (which LIV later changed to 72 holes), knockout rounds for a team championship, and franchises with four golfers and a captain.

The lawsuit added that two former WGG founders, Richard Marsh and Jed Moore, are separately accused of breaching their fiduciary duty by later helping the Saudis get LIV off the ground.

So what does this mean for LIV's future?

With lawsuits stacking up and the PIF’s money tap turned off, LIV Golf’s future looks shaky.

 Commissioner Scott O’Neil is trying hard to keep the ship afloat. And reports say he is working to raise $300 million just to keep the venture alive beyond this season. No one knows for sure if that effort will succeed.
